The pattern will be progressive as high pressure moves east into Friday morning. A storm system will begin moving through northern Mexico Thursday and will push into the Gulf of Mexico late Friday. This shortwave will bring a small chance of showers/isolated storms late Friday night and early during the day Saturday. The higher rain/storm chances will stay mainly along the coast and offshore.

LONG-RANGE/EARLY NEXT WEEK:

Early model runs indicate that the area may be in for another round of stormy weather Tuesday and Wednesday, including heavy rain potential, as a system moves from the Baja of California and east over Mexico. Latest model runs bring the low over TX and east across southeast Louisiana. It’s certainly too early to stand firm on any output. However, this will be something to watch through the weekend and into the start of next week.
